Price your home to sell!

Price! This is the number one piece of advice that can be given to any home seller in this market. You must price your home to be competitive and to get it sold. This does not mean under pricing, it means the right price. Showings are minimum right now for listings, do not give buyers another reason not to view your home. Sellers need to forget about the market a couple of years ago…it does not exist. And it does not help to look back and talk about what a neighbor received for their home 2 years ago as it has no bearing on today’s market. Hire an experienced Realtor in your neighborhood. Don’t take their work on the market price, look at the comps they prepare for you. Be honest with yourself. You may have a cherry kitchen and a seller down the street had a maple kitchen but that will not matter in this market. If you are honest and realistic you will be in a better position to sell your home.

Pay close attention to the feedback you receive. If buyers are responding that the home is on a narrow street, a busy street, needs work or the yard is not large enough what they are telling you is that the house is overpriced. If you hear these objections over and over again adjust your price! Homes will sell when priced correctly.
